A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Host of the "Taste of Nyonya" Workshop Last month, we had the incredible opportunity to immerse ourselves in the vibrant culture of Nyonya cuisine at the "Taste of Nyonya - Melbourne" workshop. The event was a vibrant celebration of Peranakan culture, bringing together a diverse group of enthusiasts and experts. It was an unforgettable experience filled with delicious food, lively dance, and a sense of community that we want to celebrate! Whether you're looking to make new friends, learn more about your or new cultural roots, or simply find a supportive community, the Peranakan group is a wonderful place to start. Everyone, regardless of background, is welcome to join and celebrate the vibrant traditions that make this culture so unique. Learn about Peranakan here  The Little Nyonya . The team responsible for last Sunday’s Taste of Nyonya - Melbourne (workshop) in Melbourne are BabaMeng, President of Peranakan Melbourne - PAA Melb ; Nyonya Bee; Lee of My Blue Tea ; Nyonya Joan; and Nyonya Margaret, Vice President and of course, the members and everyone present. The Chefs & Food A Culinary Adventure The workshop kicked off with an engaging cooking demonstration, where our talented Chefs showcased the art of preparing Momoyama Mooncakes by Alice Wong. Chef Lillie Giang, founder of FOFA (about Feed One Feed All) volunteered at the very last minute and created "Nasi Goreng with Ayam Goreng Berempah spices with brocolli". It was a good quick twist as it is economical to use MyBlueTea spice blends powder in many creative ways and expand the recipe to suit you and your family. The winning dish is of course, from our brand ambassador Karen Tan-Chatwin with her " Pandan Nasi Lemak Cake covered with Sambal Tumis Anchovies ". The " Inchi Kabin fried chicken ", made with a meat curry base and infused with coriander roots and coconut milk powder, disappeared before we even had a chance to taste it! Inchi Kabin is a Nyonya dish from the Peranakan culture, rich in history. We’ll be sharing both its unique story and the recipe on our blog soon. Remember to subscribe with your friends and families. Participants were captivated as they learned the intricacies of flavours and techniques that make this cuisine so unique and easy to combine with our spices blends. The aroma of spices filled the room, tantalising our taste buds and inspiring everyone to get hands-on in the kitchen. The atmosphere was filled with the enticing aromas of spices and herbs, as participants eagerly engaged in hands-on cooking sessions. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the Kebaya/Batik fashion parade, where beautifully adorned models showcased intricate designs and vibrant colours, reflecting the elegance and heritage of Peranakan attire. The Kebaya Fashion Show The Kebaya/Batik best dressed Joget A Celebration of Culture But it wasn’t just about cooking! The workshop also featured vibrant dance performances that brought the spirit of Nyonya culture to life. Participants were encouraged to join in, and it was wonderful to see everyone letting loose and having fun on the dance floor. The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter and joy as we celebrated together. Trivia 1 - Joget is a traditional Malay dance that originated in Malacca in the colonial era. It was influenced by the Portuguese dance of Branyo which is believed to have been spread to Malacca during the spice trade. In Malacca, joget is better known as Chakunchak. Trivia 2 - Rasa Sayang was created in Malacca during the Portuguese occupation. It was derived from a Portuguese folk song La Jingle Nona. Rasa Sayang was a local version of this Portuguese song, and since then, being adopted by the Portuguese occupiers as marching song. When the Portuguese occupied Ambon, they taught this song to the Ambonese and from there the song spread to the whole of Indonesian archipelago.

Happy cooking!  About Chef Jeffrey Simonetta Cooking is in his blood. Jeffrey Vincent Simonetta is an Australian–Italian Chef whom has worked under some of Australia’s most influential Chefs. Even from a young age whilst cooking with his mother and grandparents, his greatest desire was to be a chef. It wasn’t until the age of 14 that he was presented with his first opportunity by landing a job in a bakery before school and on weekends. This path eventually lead to Jeffrey receiving two 100% marks, topping Australia in cookery, and landing him an apprenticeship at Rockpool, the best restaurant in Australia at the time, a year before he left high school. His family background, thick with Italian culture,influenced the way in which he sees cooking and produce. It taught him that;“To be Italian is to be passionate. It is to intimately taste wine, sauce, and ripe olives, as well as appreciating simplicity and nature, from the fragrance of the spring air, the skill of the sculptor, and the soul of the painter. It means to belong to a gene pool influenced by some of the most interesting cultures in history and translate those onto a plate”. Growing up in Australia with such a multi-cultural food influence, his training in fusion cooking, and the easy availability of amazing produce have provided a perfect platform for Jeff to showcase his creativity.

Blue Spirulina is not just a pretty face; it has numerous health benefits. Spirulina is blue-green algae that’s packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and protein. It has a long history as a superfood. First eaten by the ancient Aztecs for its nutrition, spirulina was used more recently as a supplement for NASA astronauts on space missions.  It’s been used as a food source for several centuries in Mexico and some African countries, and in the U.S., it’s been sold in supplement form since the 1970s. Today, research supports many of the potential benefits of spirulina, and researchers continue to study its potential for treating health concerns. Spirulina is available in powder, capsule, and tablet forms, and it’s added to certain protein bars, smoothies, and juices. Spirulina protein Spirulina is rich in plant protein. Protein makes up 65% to 70% of its content. Most of this protein comes from  phycocyanin , a pigment that gives spirulina its blue-green color. 1. Rich in many nutrients Spirulina is packed with nutrients. A single tablespoon (tbsp), or 7 grams (g), of  dried spirulina powder,  contains: Protein:  4 g Thiamin:  14% of the Daily Value (DV) Riboflavin:  20% of the DV Niacin:  6% of the DV Copper:  47% of the DV Iron:  11% of the DV It also contains small amounts of  magnesium ,  potassium , and manganese.

Spirulina also provides a small amount of fat — around 1 g per tbsp (7 g) — including both  omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids  in an approximately 1.5 to 1 ratio. Plus, the quality of the protein in spirulina is considered excellent and  provides all of the  essential amino acids  that your body needs. Note that it is often claimed that spirulina contains  vitamin B12,  but this is false. It has pseudovitamin B12, which has  not been shown to be effective  in humans. SUMMARY Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that grows in both salt and fresh water. It is highly nutritious and a great source of protein, copper, and B vitamins. 2. Boasts powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties The main component of spirulina is called phycocyanin, which is an  antioxidant  that also gives it its unique blue color. Phycocyanin can help fight  oxidative stress  by  blocking  the production of molecules that promote inflammation and  providing  impressive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. SUMMARY Phycocyanin is the main active compound in spirulina. It has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. 3. May lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels Spirulina  can help lower  total cholesterol, low-density  lipoprotein  (LDL) or bad cholesterol, and  triglycerides , while also increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol, which are all risk factors for heart disease. According to  one review , spirulina was able to significantly improve these markers in people with  metabolic syndrome  and related disorders. SUMMARY Studies indicate that spirulina can lower triglycerides and improve cholesterol levels, which may support heart health. 4. Protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation Fatty structures in your body are susceptible to  oxidative damage . This is known as  lipid peroxidation , a key driver of many serious diseases. Research  found that the  antioxidants  in spirulina may be particularly effective at reducing lipid peroxidation. In fact, one  small study  showed that spirulina supplementation was able to reduce exercise-induced lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and muscle damage in 17 rugby players. SUMMARY Fatty structures in your body can become oxidized, driving the progression of many diseases. Some research suggests that the antioxidants in spirulina may help prevent this. 5. May have anti-cancer properties While more studies are needed, some evidence suggests that spirulina has  anti-cancer properties . Research in animals  indicates  that it may help reduce cancer occurrence and tumor size in various cancers. SUMMARY Spirulina may have anti-cancer properties. However, more research is needed. 6. May reduce blood pressure One  review of five studies  found that taking 1-8 g of spirulina per day could significantly reduce both  systolic and diastolic blood pressure , especially for people with high  blood pressure levels . This reduction is thought to be  driven by  an increased production of  nitric oxide , a signaling molecule that helps your blood vessels relax and dilate. SUMMARY Spirulina may increase production of nitric oxide and reduce blood pressure levels, a major risk factor for many chronic conditions. 7. Improves symptoms of allergic rhinitis Spirulina is a popular alternative treatment for symptoms of  allergic rhinitis , and there is evidence that it can be effective. For instance,  one study  found that spirulina was more effective than  cetirizine , an  antihistamine  used to treat allergies, in improving symptoms of allergic rhinitis and decreasing inflammation. However, more research is needed. SUMMARY Spirulina supplements may be effective against allergic rhinitis, but more research is needed. 8. Could be effective against anemia Anemia  is fairly  common  in older adults, leading to prolonged feelings of weakness and  fatigue . A  2020 study  found that taking spirulina may improve anemia in pregnant people during the second trimester. In 2021,  researchers  also found it may also improve  iron deficiency  in young children. However, more high-quality, recent studies are still needed. SUMMARY Research suggests that spirulina may improve anemia in pregnant people, as well as iron deficiency in children. 9. May improve muscle strength and endurance Exercise-induced oxidative damage is a  major contributor  to  muscle fatigue . Spirulina may help reduce this, as  research  points to improved muscle strength and endurance. In  another study , spirulina supplementation was able to improve oxygen uptake during an arm  cycling  exercise, with researchers noting that it could act as an  ergogenic aid  to  enhance athletic performance . SUMMARY Spirulina may provide multiple exercise benefits, including enhanced endurance and increased muscle strength. 10. Could support blood sugar control Animal research  suggests that spirulina could help  lower blood sugar  levels. However, according to  one review of eight studies  on humans, spirulina supplementation in doses ranging from 0.8-8 g daily could significantly reduce  fasting blood sugar levels  in people with  type 2 diabetes . However, there was no significant effect on blood sugar levels after eating or levels of  hemoglobin A1c , which is  used  to measure long-term  blood sugar control . Therefore, more research is needed. SUMMARY Some evidence suggests that spirulina may benefit people with type 2 diabetes by significantly reducing fasting blood sugar levels. Still, more studies are needed. Frequently asked questions What does spirulina do to the body? Spirulina contains protein, vitamins, and minerals and has antioxidant properties. It may help manage inflammation, blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, among other benefits. Who should not take spirulina? Spirulina is generally considered safe. The Dietary Supplements Information Expert Committee (DSI-EC) has said that it does not pose a major risk to health. However, it  may cause  some side effects such as  difficulty sleeping  and problems with digestion. People taking certain blood-pressure-lowering,  immunosuppressant , or cholesterol-lowering medications, may need to avoid spirulina due to the potential for interaction with certain chemicals in spirulina. Always check with a doctor that spirulina is safe for you to use, follow any instructions with care, and obtain your supplements from a reputable source. Some products may be contaminated with heavy metals and other toxins or bacteria. Learn more about the  side effects and risks of spirulina . Is it good to take spirulina every day? Most people who use spirulina take  up to 10 grams every day for up to 6 months.  A doctor can advise on how often to use it, how much to take, and for how long. How to Add Spirulina to Your Diet Experts recommend taking no more than 8 grams of spirulina a day. That’s a little more than two teaspoons of the blue-green algae. You can use it in the following ways:  Spirulina powder Try adding the powder to guacamole, hummus, or pesto. You can also sprinkle it on popcorn and salads, or mix it into energy balls or granola bars. Spirulina has an earthy, fishy flavor that some people may find off-putting.  Risks and Side Effects Blue spirulina is generally considered safe for consumption when used in appropriate amounts. However, as with any food or dietary supplement, there are a few potential risks and side effects to be aware of, including the risk of an allergic reaction and potential digestive issues, such as stomach cramps, nausea or diarrhea. It’s also important to be aware that if blue spirulina is not sourced from reputable suppliers or processed under proper conditions, there is a risk of contamination with harmful substances such as heavy metals or microorganisms. To minimize this risk, it’s important to purchase blue spirulina from trusted sources. Blue spirulina may interact with certain medications, such as immunosuppressants or anticoagulants. If you’re taking any medications or have underlying health conditions, consult with a health care professional before incorporating blue spirulina into your diet. Also, exercise caution before using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The bottom line  Conclusion: Spirulina is a type of cyanobacteria — often referred to as blue-green algae — that is highly nutritious.  Studies show that it may improve cholesterol and  triglyceride levels , suppress oxidation,  reduce blood pressure , and lower fasting blood sugar levels. However, more research is needed. Blue spirulina is a natural extract derived from certain species of blue-green algae, particularly  Arthrospira platensis . It’s a vibrant blue colour, making it a popular ingredient in the food and beverage industry, as well as in health and wellness products. Blue spirulina is rich in antioxidants and some immune-boosting micronutrients, including vitamin C and vitamin E. It may also promote muscle recovery, and some studies suggest it may have anti-cancer properties. The colorant is largely used in the culinary world to add a bright blue color to baked goods, desserts and other dishes. When using it, start with a small amount (about ¼ teaspoon), and increase as needed.

To Prep Fried White Bean Paste for Momoyama Mooncake To make the white bean paste, press all the skinless butter beans through a fine sieve to reveal a smooth paste. Next, heat water and sugar in a frying pan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Then, mix in the sifted white bean paste and cook for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Incorporate maltose and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Stir in milk powder until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat, transfer to a container, and let it cool. This can be prepared the day before. To prepare the mooncake filling, combine chopped dried fruits and nuts with 250g of fried white bean paste to create a dough ball. Then, divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. In a large mixing bowl, combine fried white bean paste, flour, and butter. Knead the mixture into a dough. Divide the dough into four equal parts and color three of them with different food powders, leaving one portion in its original color. Divide each colored portion and roll them into small balls to make a total of 24 balls for the marbling effect. You should end up with 24 portions of the mooncake skin and a total of 12 portions of the filling. 6. Flatten one portion of the dough into a disc shape. Put one of the mixed fruit and nut balls in the middle and wrap it up. 7. Flour your mooncake plunger, slot the dough ball in and press out. 8. Arrange the finished mooncakes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 15 minutes. No browning is required; this is just to cook the outer layer.
